Flashback: 2018 Fashion Protest

Image
By LivingtheReal
In a new regular section on Irkutsk Ice Truckers we'll feature flashback articles of famous events from our world from the dark ages of before we existed. today's goes back all the way to September of 2018, when the ultimate question of when and where khaki pants can be rightly worn was hotly debated. Ultimately the position of John Malinoski prevailed, but it was a long and contentious matter.
Is this right?

 Here is the text of his challenge
Dear freshmen (and sophomores who have been subsequently dragged into the conversation),It has come to my attention that one of our classmates, Matthew Kubisch, has been attempting to spread the ill-founded rumor that to wear khaki pants with black dress shoes is an abomination. As we all know, this is objectively untrue, and, as a result, he has understandably been facing much resistance. However, the situation has been escalating gradually over the past 4 days--many of you have indeed been a part of it--and I feel it is necessary to put an end to the debate once and for all.As a fair number of you already know, there will be a large contingent of us who will be wearing khakis with black dress shoes tomorrow in protest of this revolting viewpoint. Yet I feel it is necessary to incentivize such wholesome actions. As a result, both Andrew Russell and I will be carrying candy to hand out to those who wish to join us in our protest. Here is how this will work:Sign a petition--all you have to do to is write your name on a sheet of paper, professing the completely valid statement that the average man can look perfectly good in khakis and black dress shoes.If you are a guy, bring out your khakis and black dress shoes! Wearing this most respectable outfit will net you twice the reward. Be sure to match your belt/accessories with your shoes if at all possible.Ladies, if you wear a khaki skirt with black dress shoes, you will receive quadruple the reward, and my undying respect!Just approach either of us tomorrow to claim your reward. Please note that I'm not attempting to buy votes--I'm just trying to reward those who come forward to stand up for truth. Also, if we can get half the freshmen class (26 people) to sign the petition, we will force Matt to wear khakis and black pants after Outdoor Week, in order to establish the truths of fashion once and for all.

New Serious WCC Freshman Endeavor

By
Freshmen Anne and Emily, aiming to redeem opinions of the Class of 2022 from being solely satirical and unserious, have launched a serious project, a blog named the Barnabus Project About it: The Barnabas Project is a blog by and for the Wyoming Catholic College class of 2022. It’s a kind of combined lit-mag and indie coffee shop; it’s a site for philosophical musings on what we’re reading and thinking about, photography from our vacations, poetry and short stories, or basically anything. A little background: at the end of COR, we had a program at campfire called The Barnabas Project in which we, in a way, prepared to face the challenges of being a student. As we face the challenges of summer, this blog will be a small oasis of WCC culture against the tumultuous ocean of the wider world. Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton   View it here: https://wyclassof2022.home.blog/ To contribute (if you're a Freshmore ), find Anne's email ...

Ban the Joe: Get Joe to Come Here

By
The symbol of the cause Many WCC students are mourning the loss of Joe B. to University of Dallas. A promising member of the spring Founders draft, many were looking forward to him joining the Class of 2023. Banjo Guy as he is called, has reportedly committed to attending the University of Dallas near his Texas hometown, in a decision largely predicated upon the attendance there of many of his friends. But never fear, it's not too late! "It's not up to him whether he comes or not," was the simple conclusion from a high-level meeting of the new WCC Future Student Decision Council. Simply, that means that as everyone wants him here, he can't just decide to go elsewhere. Everyone wants him to come here, but how, one might ask, do we change this horrible decision? There are multiple ways to be sure, but to begin, we're collecting signatures as part of a national BAN-JO campaign. Ban does not mean ban in the typical sense of disallowing, but is h...
